About Tour Guide Kahori M.
Hi, I'm Kahori, a nationally licensed guide interpreter, and have just started working with GoWithGuide! I’m delighted to show people around this area. For the past almost 10 years, I have mainly guided foreign medical professionals around Hiroshima City and Miyajima, gaining a deep understanding of the effects of radiation and the support for A-bomb survivors.
Hiroshima is a city of rivers and the sea. Along the rivers Cherry trees line, and the calm Seto Inland Sea, dotted with islands, creates a stunning landscape. Also, the sea has many islands called "art islands" which have fantastic arts relating to the art festival "Setoushi Triennale". In addition to our two World Heritage Sites, this area is rich in attractive resources. I hope many of you will come and experience this fascinating land. Personally, I am very passionate about modern art and enjoy sports like stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) on our rivers.
I look forward to meeting you, interacting with you, and also, learning from you!

“Kahori M. - Excellent Guide”
We had an outstanding tour with Kahori, covering the Peace Memorial Museum, Peace Park, Hiroshima Castle, and Shukkeien Garden. She brought deep knowledge, empathy, and storytelling to each site, balancing historical detail our group's familiarity. Kahori was extremely efficient in navigating us, and was very adaptive when unexpected changes—a visiting foreign dignitary—created some extra traffic at the museum. The pacing was thoughtful, and Kahori handled logistics smoothly while remaining highly attentive to our questions and energy. This was one of the most meaningful tours we’ve taken—highly recommended for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Hiroshima.
